The new 41,000 SF Laboratory will be located on an open greenfield site of approximately 5 acres. The building will consist of several office spaces, laboratory spaces, evidence storage, a vehicle inspection area, and a gun range. This center will be replacing the existing Acadiana Criminalistics Laboratory which services eight parishes: Evangeline, St. Landry, Acadia, Lafayette, St. Martin, Vermillion, Iberia, and St. Mary.
The project scope includes but is not limited to shallow foundations, structural steel, metal stud framing, CMU, mod-bit roofing, and concrete paving.
